A journey through the interior of the building. A combination of choir and sophisticated electronics. Claudia Scroccaro explores the boundaries between virtual and real space. Listeners and musicians move around while listening to stories about the lives of women on the margins of society. Agata Zubel draws inspiration from the abstract paintings of Gerhard Richter. A musical metaphor of light in relation to György Ligeti's Lux Aeterna in Justė Janulytė's work. Franck Bedrossian, in the “fire” of his work, reproduces the structures of Arthur Rimbaud’s Season in Hell, a manifesto of the young poet’s rebellion. And an expression of his desire to return to life.



Concert organised with the support of Goethe–Institut and Institut français de Pologne.
